Was at the Melbourne gun show yesterday and saw a super nice 44 carbine. The model with the peep sight. The peep sight side edges had slight bluing wear along with a few marks on the loading area on the bottom from the cartridges. The price was $1500. I can't afford that. But, Christmas is coming and the next gun show there is Oct. 1st and 2nd. I'll have to research this model as I don't know much about them.
